Academic teaching rationale
### agañüdaguanarugutina *“I only become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger / I simply become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger (does nothing but become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger).”* The form **agañüdaguanarugutina** is built upon the root *agañüda*, “to become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the element *-guanarugu* (RST 'only / simply / merely'), whose force is given by the elder paradigm; then the element *-tina* (1SG agentive (no prefix)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “I only become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger / I simply become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger (does nothing but become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **nagañüda** (“I become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger”); **bagañüda** (“you become enraged, consumed by frustration or overwhelming anger”): each shares the same stem yet bends it to a different shade of meaning, which is exactly how Garífuna wins great precision from a singl
